Access to justice for women and children (Society in Action for Equality, SAFE)
Coordinated efforts are needed to improve access to justice for vulnerable citizens, especially women and girls. The regional GIZ project "Promotion of the Rule of Law and Judiciary in Africa" (ProLA) promotes increased exchange and learning between the four partner countries Senegal, Côte dIvoire, Ghana and Tanzania and implements targeted activities in all four partner countries. Relevant areas of focus include improving access to justice for vulnerable citizens, especially women, enhancing the independence and transparency of the judiciary, and improving access to information on access to justice. The bilateral project "Access to Justice for Women and Children/Society in Action for Equality" (SAFE) works to improve access to justice for women and children, especially in cases of gender-based and sexual violence.
